Finding the right electrician from Karen Proctor Electric

Finding a good electrician is like finding a good mechanic, lawyer, or romantic partner:  once you’re with them, you’re with them for life.  So why get saddled with a half-rate electrician who charges two times the price for repairs you don’t even need?

At Karen Proctor Electric of Charlotte,TN we’ve built our business on honest customer service and repeat customers.  Performing the necessary repairs time and again has built one thing in our clients, loyalty.  But finding a good electrician isn't always easy, so we thought we’d give you a list of what to look out for in an electrical contractor. 

First things first, make sure your electrician carries a valid contractor’s license.  Licensed electricians are certified by the state and have received training and experience in a number of jobs.

Second, look at the specific electrical service a particular electrician offers.  For example, an electrician who specializes in small repairs may not be qualified to contract your new home.  Along with the services offered, look at an electrician’s experience and ask for specific references.  If they can’t point to a handful of other clients who they’ve performed the same services for, you may want to take your business to a more experienced electrician.

Finally, we recommend asking what type of equipment they’ll be using.  Electrical repair equipment is always changing.  Making sure your electrician has the proper tools to complete the job protects you and your home.

All told, one thing’s for certain: if you’re looking for a quality electrician in middle Tennessee, Karen Proctor is the place for you.

Gimmie the Power Back!

You get home from work and immediately turn on the T.V.  Your favorite show is on at 8pm and you can’t miss it.  You’re also hungry.  You turn on your electric stove to heat up some broccoli florets and throw some left-over chicken you made from the night before into the microwave while you hop in the shower.  When you hop out, you turn on your computer to check your E-mail while you blow dry your hair. You plug your electric razor in for that extra clean shave when zap.  Power’s out.

Replacing an outlet can be dangerous, and while we at Karen Proctor would always recommend hiring a professional to do the job, we know some people like to try and do it themselves first.  If you’re one of the adventurous few up to the challenge, here are some shortcuts to keeping yourself safe when an outlet goes kaput.

1.)  Turn off all electricity

2.)  Remove the Outlet Switch Cover Plate

3.)  Label the wires

4.)  Make sure to mark the wire box

5.)  For ground fault circuit interrupter’s make sure the necessary devices are connected.
